Aye, I’m sure when it gets down to eighth preference transfers I’ll look really silly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Forgot we also had a Scottish Libertarian Party candidate. Turns out they’re the bad ultra capitalism Libertarians, not the sound collectivisation ones, so they went either below or above the tories. Can’t mind which 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Followed by the SNP, Labour, both Lib Dem’s, Tory and then the Family Party loonball at the bottom. We’ll probably be getting two Lib Dem’s and an SNP elected though. Are you misunderstanding the way it works in that you don't need to number every candidate or are you happy enough to give the lunatic fringe endorsement, however slight? I don’t really regard marking them eighth out of eight as endorsement tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clown Job Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Talking to one of my mates out in Airdrie, he’s been telling me for the last week or so a number of locals have been out making sure people know the Labour candidates are Orangemen and not to vote for them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH33 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) Was out first thing but only ranked two people. As a divorced, single maw with previous for abortion, of course I ranked the family party as top of the pops. Id prefer if at this level there weren't party politics but that's probably too idealistic. Edited May 5, 2022 by RH33 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 An almost senile family member, who insisted on going to the polling station, told me that they "placed a cross" next to their preferred candidate. I believe it will still count as they have made a clear choice, is that correct? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Not suggesting anything or who it might benefit (particularly since this press conference isn't all economic sunshines and rainbows) and I doubt it will effect your decision on potholes, but is the BoE raising interest rates on polling day not a bit odd? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might give Conservative voters cause for thought. With all the stuff about parties and "allegedly" dodgy Covid related contracts, the "party of law and order" reputation has taken a knock. The cost of living, interest rate rise, inflation etc is putting the cloak of financial competence on a shoogly hook too. Add in the involvement of Baroness Ruth and a visit by Lord Snooty Rees-Mogg and it could be a perfect storm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, if I were the callous underhanded scheming c***s at CCHQ I wouldn't have wanted this today. No doubt Anas and Baillie will be calling this an SNP recession shortly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been ok if a 1 had been placed and nobody else ranked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTG Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Is it not the case that ranking the Tories last on your list is better (for the world) than not ranking them at all? I'm sure i read somewhere that was the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing all Tory voting losers an absolutely terrible Local Election Day. Everyone else, good luck, I hope your guy wins I guess. Imagine we had the write in option like some states in the US.

Could be taken for a Roman Numeral '10' then, indicating a higher preference than any other candidate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
